Adding detergent

Use only powdered detergents or tablets formulated for residential dishwashers. Do not use gels or liquid detergents.

^ Close the cover. The cover will always be open at the end of a wash program (except “Rinse & Hold”).

Generally, filling the dispenser with

1 ½ tablespoons (25 ml) of detergent is enough for a thorough cleaning. If dishes are extra dirty, or if food has dried on the dishes, a program containing a prewash cycle should be selected. Add an extra tablespoon

(15 ml) of detergent to compartment I in the center of the dispenser, or place directly on the inner door panel.

Dishwasher detergents contain irritant and corrosive ingredients. They can cause burns in the mouth and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Keep children away from detergent and from the dishwasher when the door is open.

^ Press the latch on the detergent dispenser. The cover will spring open.

^ Fill the dispenser with 1 ½ tablespoons (25 ml) of powder detergent, or place a detergent tablet into compartment II.

To prevent children from coming into contact with dishwasher detergent, do not fill the detergent dispenser until you are ready to run the dishwasher.

Capacities:

Compartment I (prewash) holds a maximum of 3/4 ounce (20 ml) and Compartment II (main wash) holds a maximum of 2 3/4 ounces (70 ml) when completely filled. The horizontal marks in Compartment II indicate levels of approximately 3/4, 1, and 1 1/4 ounces

(20, 25 and 30 ml) respectively.
